Women and Men Experience Different Heart Attack Symptoms

⚠️ 🚨 Heart attack signs can different for women. Women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain, but women may experience other symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain. | American Heart Association

Women often experience atypical symptoms during a heart attack, diverging from the classic chest pain commonly seen in men. Instead, they may present with subtler signs such as shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, back or jaw pain, and fatigue. These symptoms can easily be mistaken for less serious conditions, potentially leading to delays in seeking treatment. Awareness of these atypical presentations is crucial in the early detection and management of heart attacks in women. #chestpain #hear
